Local Matrix with --no-mac

I've just started using ntop, and found it quite useful.  One thing I would like to do is to understand which hosts are communicating the most with other hosts on the LAN.  Because I'm using span to mirror traffic, I use the no-mac flag to ensure the IP's are used instead of the MAC addresses, as they are unreliable in this case.  However, this disables the traffic matrix feature, which provides the information I wish to see.  Is there another way to get this information, or some way to enable the traffic matrix when using the no-mac flag?
Thanks for your help.

Re: Local Matrix with --no-mac [In reply to]

I use netflow and also have the -no-mac flag, but mostly it's a hold
over from when I was also using a span port. On rare occasions I'll get
a local matrix to work, but most often I get the "No Data To Display
(yet)" message - even though it's been running for days/weeks/months.



Next time nTop blows up I'll try removing the no mac flag and see what
happens.



I don't know of another way to view this info unless you look at each
host and gather the data manually.

Re: Local Matrix with --no-mac [In reply to]

Luca,
The command I used was:
/usr/local/ntop/bin/ntop -w 80 -P /usr/local/ntop/share/ntop -u ntop_user -L -d -c -o -i eth0 -g -m "....."
where the -m argument had 4 subnets in CIDR format.
I wanted to see how the hosts in those subnets communicated with each other, and the traffic matrix presented a nice way to do this.  But, it appears the -o option disables the traffic matrix.
Thanks,
Braxton
